Greetings!

Thanks to the OSCOM cooperation, there are now two cross-platform
OpenSource WYSIWYG content editors available. Both of these work
with XML/XSLT, and so would be mostly useful to those creating
their own custom admin interfaces to Midgard.

  Bitflux Editor:
  Toolbar-based editor running on Mozilla
  http://www.bitfluxeditor.org/

  Xopus
  Very cool 'true  WYSIWYG' editor for MSIE and Mozilla
  http://www.xopus.org/

The way I would implement XSLT handling in Midgard would be to
save actual content as XML to articles and then save the XSLT-generated
HTML (or whatever) as blobs named after the stylesheet used.
The web site end of the system would then display the appropriate blob
instead of the article content. We would just need a XSLT processor
that could be either called from the command line or through a PHP
API.

BTW. If someone is interested in starting a CMS project based
on this and MidCOM or regular Midgard, let me know. I would definitely
be interested in participating. The experience coming from demoing
Nadmin to over thousand companies has given some view on what
organizations are currently looking for in CMS :-)
